Each niche comes with both an ‘animated’ template and an ‘alternate’ template, giving you the 100 templates in total (I appear to have missed a couple of the niches in the above list).

In broad terms, the animated template uses ‘explainer’ type animated images and text and the alternate template is more like a PowerPoint presentation with a series of videos and/or images and text slides.

Each template comes with the option to download the script, should you want to read it or modify it and maybe get it re-recorded using your own voice talent.

The software is downloaded to your computer, so you do not need an internet connection to use it.

It works for both PC and Mac.

The software uses a ‘timeline’, which you will be familiar with if you have used pretty much any video editor.

When you open a template in the software, it is presented on the timeline as a sequence of slides or scenes.

You can preview and edit a slide by clicking on it.

When a slide is selected, all of the editable elements are annotated e.g. ‘IMG’ for image, ‘TEXT’ for text, ‘VID’ for video.

You click on any of the annotations to edit that element.

For example, you can swap the template images with your own.

Simply click on the image and select whether to replace it with an image from your computer or from ‘Pixabay’ (a site providing free stock images).

Note that there is an option to ‘sketch’ an image before displaying it. If you have used whiteboard animation software before, you will be familiar with this.

When you have been through all of the slides and made your changes, you can preview the final video.

When you are happy, it’s time to render the final video.

You can select the video resolution (e.g. high-definition) and quality and optionally add a watermark (useful if you are sending the video to a paying client for review).

There are a couple of other interesting options here.

You can elect to create a square video, ideal for social media and mobile, or a ‘portrait’ video, which can look better than the normal ‘landscape’ video on mobile devices.

The software is very simple to use and I was able to complete my first project without needing to refer to any of the training materials.

(These appear to be comprehensive, should you need further help or instruction.)

There are two purchase options for the software.

The first is for personal use at $27 and the second is for commercial use at $47.

You will need the commercial use version if you want to use Promoyze to create videos that you intend to sell or include as part of projects for paying clients.

I believe that the prices will increase during the launch period.

So that’s the basic product.

What about upsells?

Unusually for the Explaindio team, there are only two.

The first is the inevitable template club at $37 per month.

This provides you with 20 additional templates per month, across a range of niches and topics.

For the launch only, you also get a ‘welcome’ package of a further 80 templates.

I believe that, if you say no to this, there will be options to buy a collection of additional templates for a one-time fee.

You can opt for 100 templates for $67 or 30 templates for $27.

The second upsell is for a collection of 100 animated character presenters that you can overlay onto other videos for $47.

If you say no to this, there is an option to get 30 presenters for $17.

So what’s the bottom line?

The big advantage with Promoyze is speed.

You really can select a template, make a few changes and produce a finished video in a few minutes because the templates have already done most of the hard work for you.

And the templates, whilst not exceptional, are of a good standard.

They have not been thrown together like in so many template collections out there.

Plus, they look like they have been created by real marketers, since they follow tried and tested video marketing formats (present the problem, exacerbate the problem, provide a solution, give a call to action).

The images, text and animation are appropriate and well thought-out and the narration is also professional.

The flip-side of this advantage is, of course, flexibility.

Whilst it is entirely possible to edit just about every element of the templates and effectively ‘start from scratch’, this negates the core strength of the software.

So I would not recommend Promoyze if you intend to make wholesale changes to the templates.

That’s not what the product is all about.

Promoyze is likely to appeal mainly to two groups of people.

The first is people who offer marketing services to local niche businesses.

You would simply have to obtain some images and details (maybe even some video footage) specific to a business and use them to tailor one of the templates to quickly create a promotional video.

Add the watermark feature to create a preview for the client and remove it when they are happy to pay for the video.

You would need the commercial version to use Promoyze in this way.

The second group of people is affiliate marketers who promote products in a range of niches.

Affiliate marketers generally need to create a lot of videos quickly and Promoyze allows them to do that whilst maintaining a decent level of quality.

Promoyze is probably not a sensible investment for marketers working in one niche, since they would be better served by hunting down template collections devoted to that one niche.

If you are in either of these groups of people, Promoyze could be a good investment at the low introductory price.

You should also consider the template club upsell, or at least one of the additional template collections offered as a ‘downsell’, to give you the widest possible selection of niches and topics.

Promoyze is not ground-breaking or revolutionary, but it does solve a real problem for local business and affiliate marketers who want to create lots of decent videos quickly and painlessly.

And it does so at a fair introductory price.

You can get the full details, watch a demo and have a whistle-stop tour of some of the templates here…

So, as a bonus, I am including 101 pieces of royalty-free music, spanning a range of genres and moods so that there is something suitable for use with any of your video projects, with Promoyze or otherwise.
